Welcome to Starrinite Beagles
 
 
 
     We are the home of a pack of merry little hounds, a terrier mutt and the occasional visiting Portuguese Water Dog.  Located in Northern California, we’re a small hobby kennel that exhibits and breeds beagles.  Our dogs are first and foremost beloved family pets, with conformation, obedience, agility and water play being the fun activities we enjoy with them.
    I have had dogs my whole life, growing up with a Basset Hound and several lab mixes.  I loved the temperament of the basset, but also the more outgoing personality and activeness of the labs.  When researching the breed I wanted for my own family, the Beagle was the perfect choice.  They have the wonderful tenacious hound attitude that I love and the more athletic body that I wanted.  The Beagle’s compact size, go-get-um personality, good looks, friendliness and sensitivity make them an ideal dog for many families.  Don’t mistake their stubbornness for lack of brains, the Beagle is highly intelligent.  The beagle is a wonderful dog, but it’s not for every situation.  Please research the breed, talk to owners and breeders so you know what a beagle really is before you make a commitment.
    We adopted our first beagle, Daisy, from Northern California Beagle Rescue in 1999, whom we also did foster care through for 4 years.  Our first show girl, Scout, was purchased as a pet from Julie Wright of Just-Wright Beagles in 2004.  At 4 months old, Julie thought she’d turned out really pretty and asked if we might consider showing her.  We took a few handling classes, went to a few shows and we were hooked.  
     We don’t breed often, but when we do, it is our goal to breed Beagles that are beautiful, healthy and of wonderful temperament.  Our puppies are lovingly hand-raised in our home where they get plenty of handling and socialization.  Thank you for visiting our site.
